Andy Warhol Wig Goes For $10,800

June 23rd, 2006 // Leave a Comment

That’s a hell of a lot more that Jessica Simpson is ever going to get for one of her wigs. Andy Warhol‘s wig was something special though, it was really an identifier of an icon. When you saw the hair, you knew it was Andy Warhol. The wig was auctioned off at Christie’s, and sold for $10,800.

Auction house Christie’s said the wig was part of sale of film and entertainment memorabilia that raised a total of $839,670, with 231 of the 283 lots on offer sold at the auction in New York.

A pair of the late artist’s paint-splattered Ferragamo shoes went for $7,800 while a paintbrush raised $3,840.

A 1977 Polaroid of Muhammad Ali taken by Warhol and signed by the boxing legend raised $19,200, more than twice the presale estimate.

Although, there still isn’t anything that will sell as well as Andy Warhol’s art. Last month Christie’s sold his 1962 “Small Torn Campbell’s Soup Can (Pepper Pot)” at auction for nearly $11.8 million.
